4. Operating Instructions

Igniting a Burner:

1. Ensure the gas supply is open.
2. Place your cookware on the grate above the desired burner.
3. To ignite, press down on the corresponding control knob and rotate it counter-clockwise to the 'HIGH' flame setting. You will hear a clicking sound as the electronic igniter sparks.
4. Once the flame ignites, continue to hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and engage the flame-out protection system.
5. Release the knob. If the flame extinguishes, repeat the process.
6. Adjust the flame size by rotating the knob between 'HIGH' and 'LOW' settings.

Child Protection Lock:

The control knobs are equipped with a child protection lock. This requires you to press and rotate the knob simultaneously to ignite, preventing accidental activation by children.
